>>30466244I feel like they deliberately toned down Wishiwashi because it was only the second totem.
I mean, its only attack is Water Gun, it Soaks everything half the time so you resist it, and you need strong attackers to take it down with Alomomola helping it.
... which would be a problem if Alomomola ever appeared. Totems only summon their better helper first if they're below 50% HP. Wishiwashi is bulky enough that you can attack it, deal some damage, get small fry Wishiwashi to appear, ignore it, and chip away at the totem.
